NOTE ON ANTHURUS BOREALIS. 
D. R. SUMSTINE. 
Of the six species of Anthurus only one is known from the 
United States, Anthurus borealis. This species was described by 
E. A. Burt in 1894. (Mem. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 3:504.) It 
was reported by him from New York and Massachusetts. I 
have not seen it reported from any other place since and conse- 
quently this note may add another station for this interesting 
fungus. During the summer William Marshall collected for me 
some fungi growing in the vicinity of Ravenna, Ohio. Among 
these was a specimen of this plant. Clare Jennings of Olena, 
Ohio, also sent some fungi to the Carnegie Museum and in the 
collection were several specimens of Anthurus borealis. The 
plants agree well with Burt’s description. Some of the plants 
had only five arms, others had six. The specimens are all in 
the herbarium of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburg.

MEETING OF THE BIOLOGICAL CLUB. 
Orton Hall, Dec. 4, ’05. 
The Club was called to order by the President, Mr. Griggs. 
The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 
The major paper of the evening was by Dr. C. B. Morrey on 
“Some Pathogenic Protozoa.’’ Dr. Morrey reviewed briefly the 
known species of parasitic Protozoa and gave notes on their 
habits, occurrence, distribution and life histories in general. 
Parasitic Protozoa occur mainly as internal parasites of animals, 
only one form being known to occur on plants. Parasitic Protozoa 
are classified as beneficial, nonpathogenic and pathogenic. 
Nearly all the orders of Protozoa have representatives among the 
parasites, but they are especially abundant among the Sporozoa. 
Professor.s Osborn and Landacre gave brief reports of the 
Zoological Papers presented at the Cincinnati Meeting of the 
Ohio State Academy of Science. Professor Schaffner reported 
on the Botanical Papers presented at the same meeting. 
The following persons were elected to membership: Edna 
McCleery, Edith Hyde, Mary A. DeCamp, H. S. Hammond, 
E. W. Berger, Oscar Himebaugh, W. B. Herms, R. L. Shields,
